Chapter 144 Psychological Balance

The next day.

When Yang Song heard that Bai Dayong and others were fishing by the river, he hesitated for a moment and finally went over, but he never mentioned borrowing the fishing net.

Every fishing net in Taohua Village can catch a lot of fish, which makes many people jealous.

Looking at the fish caught in the fishing net over there, and then looking at the fishing rod in their hands that has been motionless for a long time, many people gave up the idea of ​​fishing for food.

Forget it, you won’t catch any fish anyway.

When Lu Xiaohao saw this scene, he instantly felt balanced.

It turns out that Yu not only doesn't get along with him, but also doesn't get along with other people, of course, except for the Baijiabao caravan.

Bai Tao stayed in the tent today, wearing headphones and watching a movie on her tablet, and ordered food for lunch.

While coming over to get the food, Lu Xiaohao asked, "Miss Bai, is the reason your team was able to catch so many fish because you threw fish food in advance?"

Ordinary people might not think of such a thing, but Lu Xiaohao is different. He thought of it quickly.

Bai Tao had no intention of hiding it and nodded openly: "Yes, I made a nest."

The fish food in the fishing nest is not cheap either, a box costs her five hundred coins.

"No wonder it's like this!" Lu Xiaohao suddenly felt that his loss was not unfair.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Early that morning, a surprised scream broke the morning tranquility.

"The river is frozen!"

Many people ran to the riverside upon hearing the sound.

Before nightfall yesterday, the Qingquan River was sparkling with waves, but after a night, the water was covered with ice.

During these ten days, some people who couldn't wait turned around and looked for other ways.

The remaining people who did not leave either had family members working in the Baijiabao caravan, or were determined to follow the Baijiabao caravan.

But even though I had made up my mind, I was still feeling anxious.

At this time, people looked at the frozen river surface, and after being surprised, they felt happy.

"I don't know if it will freeze completely. If it does, we won't need a bridge to cross the river."

"Well... it should be possible from the looks of it, right?"

"I hope God blesses me and the ice on the river must freeze..."

Lu Xiaohao also went to the river to check out the situation. It wasn't snowing and it wasn't too cold. It was really strange that the Qingquan River was frozen.

He thought about it and found that there seemed to be no record of Qingquan River having such a special reaction in the strange stories in the royal secret history.

Lu Xiaohao subconsciously looked in the direction of Bai Tao's tent. Although Bai Tao hadn't said anything in the past few days, he inexplicably felt that she seemed to know a lot of things.

It takes ten days to hire someone to take the grass core, no more, no less.

Before Lu Xiaohao could find Bai Tao to find out the truth, he heard the discussion of the female workers who were going to work.

Person A: "Today is the tenth day. Manager Bai said that those who don't want to work don't have to come tomorrow. What do you think?"

B: "Of course I will come. I will not come until this job stops."

C: "Yeah, me too. There are still five days left, so let's just finish it."

A: “So you’re not going to leave?”

B: "Go? Where can we go now?"

As she spoke, the young wife lowered her voice and said, "My family has discussed it, and we don't know where to go, so we might as well just follow the caravan."

"After all, we work for the caravan, and the managers know us well. If there is work in the future, they will think of us."

C: "That's right, that's what my family planned too."

After hearing this, A thought about it and realized that this was the truth: "Then I will talk to my family about it when I get home from work today." Lu Xiaohao, do you want to collect grass hearts for another five days?
Speaking of which, he still doesn't know what the heart of the Qinxin grass is used for.

Lu Xiaohao also asked the people in Taohua Village, but their answers were either they didn't know or they were not sure.

Bai Tao was even more straightforward: "Of course it is useful. We are a caravan, so of course we sell it for money."

Lu Xiaohao was very skeptical about the idea of ​​selling it for money, but since Bai Tao had said so, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

In this way, for the next five days, people would run to the river every morning to observe the speed of the ice freezing.

Everyone was delighted to see the ice getting thicker day by day.

The fifth day arrived in a flash.

As usual, the workers packed up their things when they got off work, put the small wooden hammer back into the frame, and waited to be paid and receive supplies.

"Boss Bai, will you take the grass heart again tomorrow?"

Bai Dashan: "Today is the last day, you don't need to come tomorrow."

"Thank you all for your hard work in the past half month. After you get your wages and supplies, you can go home after you get your meals."

The heart of the qinxin grass is not available all year round, it only appears for one month.

Bai Tao and his group arrived at Qingquan River late, so they could only take half a month.

Bai Dashan: "Our aunt said that we will give everyone an extra three pounds of meat, two pounds of dried sweet potatoes, and one pound of salt today."

As soon as the words fell, the scene, which had been noisy, suddenly became quiet. Three seconds later, everyone seemed to react and the scene was filled with joy for a while.

A pound of salt?!

This is good stuff.

Better than meat.

It’s not that the meat is bad, but people really can’t live without salt.

What's more, everyone who has bought salt from the Baijiabao caravan before knows that their salt is fine, white, and very salty, better than the salt bought from the salt shop in the county town.

The key point is that the salt bought from the Baijiabao caravan is 20% cheaper than that in the salt shop.

Private salt is cheap, but it is nothing compared to the salt from the Baijiabao caravan.

However, the Baijiabao caravan did not have much salt, and each household was only given a purchase quota of three kilograms.

Now they are given an extra kilogram, for free, without charging any money. How can everyone not be excited?

In fact, when someone asked to buy salt before, Bai Tao didn't want to sell more, but couldn't sell more.

Salt and iron were important taxes in ancient times. The Baijiabao caravan had no qualifications to buy and sell salt. If they sold salt without authorization, especially such good salt, they would easily get into trouble if they were caught.

That is to say, they were on the road to escape and had no place to live. They sold 300 kilograms casually. They were all ordinary people. They were excited and nervous when they bought them, so naturally they would not tell others.

Bai Dashan waited until everyone's excitement had passed before he raised his hand to calm them down and continued with a smile, "Also, everyone can take two fish home today."

The crowd cheered again.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Bai, thank you, Young Master..."

"Young Master is a very good man. He will surely live a long and blessed life, and be blessed as vast as the East Sea..."

The people of Taohua Village were delighted to hear these auspicious words. They grinned happily and nodded continuously.

Isn’t it true? Our aunt is the best aunt in the world.

Bai Tao, the person involved, was holding a durian and looking it up and down.

This is the fruit blind box she bought from the mall. It looks quite big, but I don’t know what’s inside.

'Shangcheng, do you think this durian is the gratitude durian?'

Mall: '……'
